You and I
In a
Little toy shop
Buy a bag of
Balloons with the
Money we've got
Set them free at
The break of dawn
Till one by one
They were gone
Back at base box
In the software
Flash the message
'Something's
Out there'
Floating in the
Summer sky
99 red balloons
Go by
99 red balloons
Floating in the
Summer sky
Panic bells
It's red alert
There's something
Here from
Somewhere else
The war machine
Springs into life
Opens up one
Eager eye
Focusing it on
The sky where 99
Red balloons
Go by
99 decision street
99 Ministers meet
To worry worry
Super scurry
Call the troupes
Out in a hurry
This is what we
Waited for
This is it boys
This is war
The President is
On the line as
99 red balloons
Go by
99 Knights of the
Air rise super
Hi-tech
Jet fighters
Everyone's a
Silver hero
Everyone's a
Captain Kirk
With orders to
Identify
To clarify
And classify
Scramble in the
Summer sky
99 red balloons
Go by
99 red balloons
Go by
99 dreams
I have had
Everyone
A red balloon
It's all over and
I'm standing pretty
In this dust that
Was a City
If I could find
A souvenir just
To prove the world
Was here
And here is a
Red balloon
I think of you
And let it go
